When I read today's passage, the children's nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty came to my mind. Take a look at this excerpt from one of David's psalms:
Train me, God, to walk straight;
then I'll follow your true path.
Put me together, one heart and mind;
then, undivided, I'll worship in joyful fear.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you, dear Lord;
I've never kept secret what you're up to.
You've always been great toward me—what love!
I think it's interesting that David depicts himself here as someone that's divided. Like Humpty Dumpty, he wants to be put back together again. Luckily for David (and for all of us), when all the king's horses and all the king's men can't people together again--God can. God's a master at restoring broken lives. That's definitely worthy of our love, thanks and worship.
Tomorrow: Psalm 90-95
